Review from Janette B (Niece of Resident) published on 24 December 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
After the care my mum had from the staff here, up to her death, it was a no brainer to send mums sister in to be cared for in her last few weeks of life, the staff were amazing, caring for her with dignity, and keeping the family fully updated . As this was a second relative that had used the home, I would recommend this home to anyone without hesitation
↩Reply from Lindsey Whittle, Manager at Alexander Care Home

Overall Experience
I cannot praise the staff at Alexander enough for not only the care they provide for my father but also the support and reassurance they provide to the family. My dad has shown improvements in social interaction, mobility and cognition in a short time and nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend Alexander Care Home.
↩Reply from Lindsey Whittle, Manager at Alexander Care Home
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. Its much appreciated. We are so pleased that Dad has settled in well and is enjoying all that the Home has to offer. I will pass on your positive comments to the team.

Review from P L (Friend of Resident) published on 7 December 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I have found the home to be caring and efficient. Members have been more than happy to set up Skype calls so that I can remain connected with my friend. This was especially helpful during covid and more recently during my own recovery from a broken leg. We have privacy on our calls and see my friend in her room. I enjoy any kind of involvement with the home for example I'm looking forward to the Christmas outing.
↩Reply from Lindsey Whittle, Manager at Alexander Care Home
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review, your feedback is very important to us as we continue to work hard to improve the service we offer. We are pleased we were able to keep you both in touch throughout the pandemic and beyond. We are all looking forward to the Christmas trip and many more are planned for 2023! Your support for the Home is greatly appreciated.

Review from Lorraine S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
More training needed with catheters; often catheter is not attached to leg properly, needs to be checked in the afternoon as it is sometimes very full
and sometimes it has leaked. More use could be made of outside space.
↩Reply from Lindsey Whittle, Manager at Alexander Care Home
Thank you for your review and constructive comments. I will share your feedback with the team. Staff are currently undertaking training in catheter care so previous issues should now be resolved.
The outside area is used (weather permitting) but we will certainly look to utilise this fantastic space more effectively in the warmer months.

Overall Experience
My sister has Dementia and is well cared for at Alexandra, the staff are very kind and caring, the facilities are well suited to what comes across as a family environment. My sister appears contented and happy. Her siblings are all very happy with her care and we find the staff and management very approachable and accommodating especially as Covid 19 has presented great challenges.

Thank you for your very kind comments. We are so happy that your sister has settled in so well and is part of the Alexander Family. I will make sure your lovely words are passed on to the Team.

Review from Janette B (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 August 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has been resident here for the last 7 months, she suffers from dementia, and since she was admitted in December, she has begun to thrive.
She is well looked after by the staff, is always clean and tidy. Would recommend it to anyone, the staff are so lovely and caring. I wouldn't want mum to be anywhere else.

Review from S S (Friend of Resident) published on 29 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My friend has dementia and until September 2017 lived at home with a care agency providing support on a daily basis which worked. However, due to his mental health and physical health deteriorating, he moved into Alexander Care Home. Ask me how to describe the care and support my friend receives in one word - Fantastic. The staff make the home into a home. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The residents' needs always come first and family-friends who visit are always made so welcome. It really is a home from home. My friend is very settled and likes all the staff. They provide a fabulous service. Thank you.

Overall Experience
I have come into Alexander Care Home for respite care and I have only praise for the staff they all care for you and always have a nice word with you this includes all staff day and night, the chef, cleaner and the person who does the laundry. The home is lovely cheerful and very welcoming to you and visitors.
The rooms are lovely whatever activity goes on you are made welcome every where you go it's spotless. I would recommend this to anyone either a long stay or short stay. The staff deserve this praise they go out of their way to make you welcome, safe and looked after.

My general impression of Alexander Care Home is that it's a good place to be for my mother. Well run, open/transparent, clean, safe and caring.
The staff are friendly and look after residents. Over the two years of my mothers stay her health became stable and she's been relatively happy with her care over the last 12-18months.

Review from Lesley S (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mum has been in this care home for over 4 years and her dementia has gradually worsened over this time and she is now fully bedridden. The care home has managed through her different stages of the condition. I think the staff are a major part in any care home and the staff here are very caring and aware of each individual needs. Very clean and tidy and food menu seems good. Sometimes there does seem a shortage of staff present. I like the fact there is staff member for activities.
